The Operating Mode/Nearest Airport Search Page also allows you to select
the characteristics of the GPS 95's nearest airport function. Pilots of large,
high-performance aircraft may direct the nearest airport function to ignore
those airports at which it would be difficult, if not impossible, to land their
aircraft. You may set the minimum runway length and the surface type for
airports selected by the nearest airport function.
To set the minimum runway length...
· Place the cursor on the runway length field using the arrow keys.
· Enter the minimum runway length using the alphanumeric keys.
· Press ENT.
To set the desired runway surface...
· Place the cursor on the runway surface field using the arrow keys.
· Select the desired surface type by pressing CLR. You may select from
any surface (any), hard surface only (hard only), soft/hard surface only
(soft/hard), or water surface only (water only).
WARNING: Be extremely cautious when selecting the nearest airport
search characteristics, particularly if you select a large runway length and/
or water surface type. These selections are designed for specialized aircraft
operations and will tend to eliminate many available airports from the nearest
airport list which might otherwise be useful in the event of an emergency.
